Anybody remember this skit. I can't find video anywhere, but thought it was hilarious as a child. I really miss Phil Hartman.


Adobe



Spokesman.....Phil Hartman


Spokesman: These days, everyone's talking about the Hyundai, and the Yugo. Both nice cars, if you've got $3,000 or $4,000 to throw around. But, for those of us whose name doesn't happen to be Rockefeller, finally there's some good news - a car with a sticker price of $179. That's right, $179. The name of the car?

Adobe. The sassy new Mexican import that's made out of clay. German engineering and Mexican know-how helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier. At this price, you might not expect more than reliable transportation - but, brother, you get it! Extra features: like the custom contour seats, or the beverage-gripping dash. And the money you save isn't exactly small change!

Jingle:
"Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
The little car that's made out of clay!
We're gonna save you some money
that you can spend in some other way!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Adobe!"

[ show Adobe driver get into a fender-bender. She casually steps out of the vehicle and uses her hands to mold her bumper back into its proper shape, in under six minutes! ]

Spokesman: Adobe. You can buy a cheaper car. But I wouldn't recommend it!

Announcer: Not approved for street use in some states. No warranty either expressed or implied. All sales final.

Hahaha, I actually do remember that skit. I've only gotten to see it that one time it aired - but it has always stuck with me.

Adobe - 1986
From the days of the uber-cheap Yugo and Hyundai, Phil Hartman brings us the ad for a Mexican car made of clay: “German engineering and Mexican know-how helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier.”
